About Me

I usually stay on top of my health, as I eat right, exercise, and visit my doctor regularly. I never visited an ophthalmologist, because I thought they were only needed for people who wear glasses and contact lenses. I am a designer, and one problem I always had was dry, gritty feeling eyes at the end of a long day drafting designs. I thought it was just part of life and working long hours. One day I decided that maybe I really had an eye problem, and I visited an ophthalmologist. I was told my dry eyes were not normal, and I received a prescription for eye drops that changed my life! I can now work long hours without any eye dryness. I created this blog to remind others that your eyes are very important, so you shouldn't neglect their care. You only have one set that is irreplaceable!
